Get free help applying for financial aid for college!

Thinking about going to college? One of the first steps is to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required to apply for federal, state and institutional financial aid. College-bound students and their parents can receive free assistance in filing the federal financial aid application on FAFSA Day, which will take place Wednesday, February 22, 2017, 4-6 p.m. at NSCC’s Lynn Campus, 300 Broad St.

At FAFSA Day, volunteer financial aid and higher education experts will help families complete the FAFSA and offer one-on-one assistance. The services are free and available to anyone entering college during the 2017-2018 academic year.

FAFSA Day is held at additional locations and on additional dates across Massachusetts. Visit www.FAFSAday.org to register and to view site locations, dates, times and to get more information. You may also email fafsaday@gmail.com or call 877-424-7627.
